Medieval Irish on the South Atlantic Coast . . . they were refugees!

This is actually huge. The coastal region of the American SE had been abandoned after a horrendous tsunami in the sixth century. Needless to say the local natives did not attempt to rebuild at all and this opened the door for new comers from Ireland in the late twelfth century.

I had associated the presence of deer herding as likely happening during the Bronze Age and assumed more recent activity as merely continuity. This makes that idea unlikely at all. first we learn that deer husbandry was intact in Ireland until 1150 AD and disappeared with their herders. The advent of cattle followed the monks.

What this clearly does is anchor the Norse control of the Gulf Stream route at the same time as the Norse discovered America around 1000 AD. This was soon taken over by the Templars until long past Columbus.

Over the past seven years,
Scott Wolter, the former host* of the History Channel’s, “America
Unearthed,” has devoted much of his available time to research the
history of Christianity up to the late Middle Ages. As the keynote
speaker at this weekend’s Ancient Artifact Preservation Society
conference at the Island Resort and Convention Center in Michigan, he
presented much of that research to a large audience. Native America is
not the only place, where history has been concealed and fabricated.
The audience was astounded at the long list of facts about early
Christian history, which are conveniently left out of sermons, Sunday
School classes and articles by the mainstream media. Island Resort is
owned by the Hannahville Indian Community of Potawatomi.

What immediately caught my
ear was Wolter’s descriptions of the radical changes in the church that
occurred in the 1000’s via Papal Edicts and Vatican Councils . . . and
the fact that Christians in the British Isles refused to endorse them.
The most notable change was that celibacy was made mandatory for the
priesthood and hierarchy, but was rarely practiced by the rulers of the
church in Rome. Most popes had mistresses, wives or male lovers
throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

The emerging church
oligarchy in Rome wanted to control all of Europe as Roman emperors did
in the past. They also wanted to shift the family orientated worship
services of the traditional churches to a standardized liturgy dominated
by single men and their teenage boy assistants. The Anglo-Saxon,
Scottish and Irish bishops, who refused to endorse these edicts, were
considered heretics.

Although Wolter did not
specifically mention events in late 11th century Ireland, his
description of the political intrigues, going on in the Roman Catholic
Church during that era, clearly answers, “Why would Irish Christians
want to leave Ireland?” More about that later.

*According to a neutral website, IDMb, “America Unearthed” was
the most successful program ever aired on History Channel H2. The
premier of America Unearthed (about the Itza Mayas migrating to Georgia)
has become the most watched History program ever because of Youtube and
continued availability on its own website. America Unearthed was at
the peak of its ratings, when H2 was sold to the A & E Network,
which has now re-branded it as the Vice Network. According to IDMb, A
& E executives thought America Unearthed too “intellectual” for the
educational level of persons, who still maintain loyalty to cable
networks.

Georgia’s first history book

William Bacon Stevens

The opening paragraphs of the first
book on the history of the state of Georgia by William Baker Stevens
matter of factly states that early colonists on the coast of South
Carolina and Georgia encountered light-skinned Indians, who spoke a
dialect of Irish Gaelic. Stevens cited specific and real monastic
journals in France and Ireland, which described Irish from County
Leinster and Scandinavian (Norman) Christians from Wexford and Dublin
fleeing Ireland for Witmannsland (White People’s Land in Norse)
on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean between 1160 AD and 1190 AD,
because of persecution by the invading French Normans. The journals
stated that the Scandinavians furnished the boats and settled farther
north than the Irish.

In his book, De Orbo Novo,
16th century author Peter Martyr d’Anghiera described a voyage in 1521
of slave traders, Francisco Gorgillo and Pedro de Quejo, to the South
Atlantic Coast. South of the province that the Spanish called Chicora
and the French called Chicola, the Spaniards visited a province of
“giant” Caucasians called Duhare. The people of Duhare raised
domesticated dairy deer and made cheese from their milk. They also
raised several plants and livestock, which are not indigenous to the
Americas. However, their houses and pottery were the same as their
Indian neighbors. The Spaniards recorded several Duhare words, but did
not state what ethnicity they were.

The story of Duhare has been discounted
by all scholars for almost 500 years. They said that the idea of dairy
deer was ludicrous and proof that the story was a fantasy. All scholars
place Chicora north of Charleston, SC when the French, who visited there
in 1562 and 1565 specifically said that it was about 35 miles south of
Port Royal Sound, SC at what is now Savannah, GA.

Instead of relying on “all scholars,” I
contacted the Irish Consulate in Atlanta at asked them to put me in
touch with the right professors in Ireland. Strangely enough, the Irish
history and Gaelic professors at Trinity College in Dublin were not
familiar with the story of Duhare. HOWEVER, they said that Duhare, was
actually the Early Medieval Gaelic word, Du H’Aire, which
meant “Irish.” All the other Duhare words, recorded by the Spaniards
were also Early Medieval Gaelic words . . . very close to the Gaelic
used today.

The history professor stated that
indeed, the Irish had domesticated the Red Deer into a stockier animal,
which was milked. The deer milk was made into cheese. The Ossreigh
People (Deer Kingdom) specialized in deer dairying. They had formerly
lived in Leinster, but were terribly persecuted by the Norman invaders
during the late 1100s. Many Ossreigh villages had been deserted, but
historians didn’t really know where they went. Dairy cows were not
known in Ireland until introduced by French-Norman monks. He said that
the Irish Gaelic Church was terribly persecuted by the Normans, but
didn’t say why. He did mention, though, that many Irish priests and
bishops were killed . . . often being burned at the stake.

So . . . William Bacon Stephens
recounted eyewitness accounts of Gaelic speaking Indians on the coast,
but didn’t seem to get the connection with the story of Duhare. The
Spanish didn’t realize that the freckled, brown-haired, bearded Indians
on the coast were Irish Gaels. All scholars for 500 years didn’t bother
to fact check the story told by Peter Martyr d’Anghiera, before
completely discounting.

In the 1600s and 1700s, the Creeks called a
hybrid people, living on the upper Savannah River, Tuckaseegee River (Tokahsi-ke)
and Highlands, NC area, Tokahle, which means freckled people. Some
Tokahle eventually moved to Alabama and became one of the most powerful
divisions of Creek Confederacy, the Tuckabatchee. Other Tokahle moved
to Florida and became a powerful division of the Seminole Alliance.

It
makes no sense. Why would French Norman Catholics persecute Irish
Norman and Irish Gaelic Catholics so viciously that they would flee
across the Atlantic Ocean in the late 1100s? This has always been the
major barrier to validating the Duhare Story.

Secret crusades against fellow Christians

Research into historical texts about
the Middle Ages revealed that the Roman Catholic church began to use
especially painful means of executing those men and women, judged
heretics, after the schism between the bishops of Rome and
Constantinople in 1054. By the 1100s, merely disobeying a papal order
could get one labeled a heretic. Kings were excommunicated. Commoners
were tortured and burned.

During the 1100s, increasing larger
numbers of knights and soldiers were launched against populations,
viewed as Christian heretics. The first formal “Holy Crusade” against
Muslims in the Middle East began around 1095 AD. The first formal
military attack against “heretics” was in 1109. By 1147, formal
crusades were being launched against several nations and provinces
around Europe, who were viewed as heretics. European heretics were
treated far more brutally than Muslim populations in the Middle East.
Typically, all men, women and children would be killed in the most
painful way possible, when a crusade was launched against Christians.

It is always seemed bizarre that Pope
Alexander II gave his Papal blessing in 1066 to William, the
illegitimate son of a Norman duke, to conquer England and kill an
anointed English king. Papal indulgences were given to anyone in
William’s army , who died in the military campaign. Such things were
normally only done for participants in a “Holy” Crusade. Also, not a
word was uttered in protest as the now King William of England defrocked
all of the Anglo-Saxon clerical leaderships and replaced them with
French bishops and cardinals. Thanks to Wolter’s research, the answer
to this riddle is obvious. The Norman Conquest WAS a crusade against
England . . . Heretic Anglo-Saxon England, which refused to cease
marriage of priests and local control of parishes.

This is what Scott Wolter’s research
tells us. The French Norman’s viewed the Roman Catholic Church as an
extension of their centralized political power. Of course, it made
little difference to individual barons and kings, whether a priest was
married, had a mistress or was celibate. What did matter was that the
bishops and priests obeyed the commands of their bosses in the nearest
castle and in Rome . . . because the French Norman nobility expected
the priests and bishops to encourage submission to both papal power and
Norman overlords.

Thus, refusal of Irish Gaelic clergy to
abandon their wives and children or accept new standard forms of
liturgy were viewed by the French Normans, controlling England and now
conquering Ireland, as both treason and heresy. The most gruesome
forms of torture and death were reserved by medieval rulers for those,
who were viewed as either traitors or heretics. Irish Gaels and
Normans were viewed as both.

Possible death by drowning in the vast
Atlantic Ocean would seem to be a valid alternative to being tortured
and then burned to death. Most likely, the Norse in Dublic and Wexford
found out about the New World from Scandinavians in Iceland and
Greenland. Both remote regions had extensive contacts with Ireland.
Over half the MtDNA of Icelandic women is Gaelic.

This is a tantalizing set of poorly linked possibilities that relies upon the reader filling in the gaps to create credibility. A (very briefly) fun read. BUT, it starts by once again presuming a European superiority / dominance model for the development of Native American (euro-valued) capacities, such as the success of the Creek nation as a power and a civilization.

We don't need shreds of stories to make a case for this. We have science. With DNA testing now reasonably cheap and quick, and the ongoing interest in matters of lineage and migrations, Irish genetics within the SE USA native populations would have been noted by now. Other than a mixture of Native American and Scots/Irish as indentured servants and prisoners from the time of the Highland Clearances in the 1700s in Scotland, and the forced migration of Irish in the 1600s, there is no genetic evidence for an earlier period of Irish settlement. People being people, there surely would have been intermarriage and diffusion into the surrounding native nations.

As for the claims that cattle were introduced to Ireland by the French-Normans (would have been the mid to late 1100s CE), they were actually brought in as an essential element of the Celts' culture and economy as far back as 3000BCE.

Maybe or maybe not on the dairy deer topic. No reason that one couldn't domesticate deer within a woodland context. Reindeer certainly have been kept between domestication and wildness for a very long time, producing milk as well as meat,hides,horn and as draft animals. But due to an absence of cattle in a culture as heavily cattle-centric as Ireland? Nope.

And then, there's the credibility of Wolters himself:http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/scott-wolters-apparently-non-existent-degree
